Cemetery

When a loved one dies, people naturally look for a funeral home. Also referred to as mortuaries, these businesses are involved with managing the activities surrounding funerals. Mortuaries offer an assortment of services for the deceased as well as the family and friends who wish to pay their respects. Each mortuary is different. The types of services offered can vary, affecting the quality of service and total price. The work of the funeral director and his staff begins with the initial meeting

in limited cases. First, this coverage only applies to parents of unmarried veterans who died after October 7, 2001. Second, the death must have occurred in combat or during a training injury. Third, the veteran must be buried in an open national cemetery. If those three conditions are met, the parents are eligible for burial benefits at that

Landscape Perspectives on Death Landscapes have been modified by humans since ancient times and continue to be today. Whether for intensive agricultural purposes or mortuary practices, it is part of everyday life. Modification of a landscape for mortuary practices is to connect the living and ancestors through physical bonds, but placing the dead with mapping out tombs is for the living. The landscape perspective varies between groups but by integrating the dead into an environment, through monuments

prepared for burial but if the person dies during the night lights and candles are placed around the deceased because they believe that the body should not be left in darkness for evil spirits to attack it. Burial sites cannot be shared with non-Muslim cemeteries. The excessive cost of grave sites has forced family members to be buried on top of each other. Before pacing the body into the grave, the coffin is placed on the ground three times and lifted their times and on the fourth attempt is finally placed

Necrophilia - the absurd sexual attraction or desire towards dead bodies. Oh yes, you certainly did read the first sentence accurately. Strange, isn't it? No ordinary man in their right mind would ever consider the decaying flesh of a lifeless corpse as being sexually equivalent to a young, lively and beautiful woman. But one had not met the very unordinary Frederick Anderson yet. Frederick Anderson was a simple man who always saw himself as “normal.” Normality is a fascinating concept. Being diverse

by Robert Lowell seems as if he was remembering his mother’s death and what he had gone through during that time. He tells the story in a poem in a sequential order from being in the hospital, being in the car with her dead body and finally in the cemetery burying her.      In the hospital we can see that he remembers that the nurse could only speak in Italian.

crushed into minute pieces of terror and misery, as the hearse driver opens the door. Resistance is pointless. We are already here. A foot away from the gates of fire. I push open the gate upon its rusty hinges. Though, I know, cemeteries are supposed to be depressing and solemn places, this is out of the ordinary. I am welcomed by an old, decrepit yet elegant chapel, that has been abused by weather and man, but preserved and decorated by Mother Nature. Ivy droops

Whether it's a full-blown phobia or something that just scares the crap out of you, we each have that one thing that makes us weak in the knees. Maybe it's ghosts, clowns, or even spiders (really?). For me, my biggest fear is of being buried alive. No, of course this is not rational. But in my defense, most people's deepest, darkest fears are irrational. That's part of why they scare us so much. My fear falls somewhere between a phobia and something that keeps me up on those dark, lonely nights

For centuries, people have looked to burying and burning their bodies after they die. After all, they are considered ethical and “normal” by almost all cultures. However, these options do not give back to the earth in the way they should after the earth has fed us, drenched our thirst, built our homes, and given us a place to love; without it, we could not do any of these things. An ecologist named Susanne Wiigh-Masak from Sweden has given us an alternative that will not only help the earth but then
